Fruit and Nut Bars

Fruit and nut bars make a great snack on the go. With 5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber per serving they can certainly help to curb your appetite. They are quite high in carbs (28 grams per serving) so you want to go easy on these and not eat the whole pan. Although they are delicious and you might be tempted!

Ingredients:

1 cup pitted dates

1/4 cup almond butter

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup chopped almonds

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries . . .)

Directions:

Chop dates in a food processor until they form a ball.

In a medium sized glass bowl, add the almond butter, honey and vanilla. Heat at half power in 30 second increments until the almond butter is melted and the mixture is a little warm.

Add the chopped dates to the bowl and mix well.

Stir in the chopped almonds, oats and dried fruits.

Press the mixture into a non-stick 8" pan. Place the pan in the freezer until the bars have hardened up.

Cut into 12 bars and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them.

Need an idea to announce your pregnancy? This cute image should be just the thing!

Now that my daughter is expecting her first child, a lot of my posts will probably be baby related!

I created this file in Cricut Design Space using the free "Friends" font from daFont. If someone you know is due in November of 2020, you can feel free to get a copy of my file here. I then used the file to create a design in Canva.

To create the design in Canva, first remove the grid in Cricut Design Space using the settings. Then use your screen snipping tool to capture the image. Create a new design in Canva. Find a onesie background in the images. Then upload the clipped image into Canva. Add it to your image then edit it to remove the background ( I love this feature!). Arrange the image on the onesie and you're finished! Canva saves automatically but you can download your creation for free or create prints at a cost.

If you need to create your own file for a different month, see this post for directions on how to use this font in Cricut Design Space.
